President Trump retweeted a video Friday of right-wing commentators Glenn Beck and Candace Owens attacking the reputation of George Floyd.
The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me, Owens told Beck in the footage. George Floyd was not a good person.
As mass protests rocked the nation for yet another day, the Trump retweet amplified the message to a worldwide audience and his 81.8 million Twitter followers.
Beck and Owens then delved into Floyds lengthy criminal record, which included time behind bars. Floyds autopsy report revealed he had both fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death.

I wish the President would bring Candace into the administration in some capacity to give her some experience and so that she might start building a resume for her promising future.
Meth...increased blood pressure and overheating.
Fentanyl...respiratory suppression.
Doesn’t excuse what the police did, but Floyd’s drug use almost certainly contributed to his death. Even a healthy person is going to have some difficulty breathing when they lay on their chest with their arms behind their back.
This young lady will make a very positive mark in the world! Blacks need a positive role model other than George Floyd, LeBron and Snoop dog.
And neither was Saint Swisher of Sweets (Brown), or Saint Martin of Skittles (trayvon). They were both thugs who got what they deserved, yet they were elevated to that of a deity.
That’s your former Democrat self talking.
And thats exactly the sort of response I expected
Explain to me the benefit of the retweet
I will await your informed and reasoned response
George Floyd was denied his day in court. How can ANY Republican be OK with a rush to judgment without due process? Isnt a major problem with the social justice witch hunts we now see the lack of due process? The progressives need to be held to account for their own sins, rather than abandoning anyone at all to their tender mercies.
This is ridiculous and very hurtful to everyone. His rights were violated and he was slowly tortured. These people sound evil.
70 million views!
How many TV programs even get 1/10 th of that?
George did not deserve to die at an early age
George had meth, fentanly, heroin, and pot in his system
George tested positive for corona virus.
Both corona and fentanly serverly degrade your ability to breathe
George was resisting arrest.
The police officer applied a restraint move to subdue George. That move is SOP and used by police around the world.
In this instance, George suddenly dies.
Gateway Pundit did an article three days ago about Owen’s comments. She seems to post her thoughts on facebook videos lately. I don’t do facebook so found out thru Gateway Pundit.
Candace was not justifying George Floyd’s death. She is questioning why the black community tends to try to sanctify the lowest elements of their culture, when other groups like whites, Jews, Chinese, et al. do not rally behind such people, but dispose of them. In other words, George Floyd becomes a hero, but Clarence Thomas is a bum.
A local pastor in a nearby town went to talk with the protestors and they ran him off. Also children younger than jr. high are participating in the protests. We know how their parents vote. Let’s face it. . .we have a couple generations that have already been given over to a reprobate mind. . .no common sense, no understanding of good and evil. Maybe God, even after He has been blasphemed in our nation, will give us a “last revival”. . .we don’t deserve anything.
Really? So being drugged up and violently resisting arrest mean nothing? Should the arresting officers have saved us all the trouble and got on their knees and paid BLM homage to this great exemplar of the black community? Have you given the knee to your new overlords yet? You weaklings disgust me.
attacked. Lol....
I finally caught a glimpse through social media platforms of George Floyd begging for his life. I was never trying to find it but it found me. It was indeed awful to see.
I saw his parents point out that not one of the four police officers bothered to help George as he was suffocating and begging them for life. The parents were spot on in their assessment of what happened and my heart goes out to them.
I saw the police officers and they looked like low lifes, not professionals at all.
I saw Rudy Giuliani point out that good policing involves having senior law enforcement officers present and that an absence of such officers was a sign of terrible police work. He went on to say that in NYC there are always higher ranking police officers present in such circumstances and there would never be a George Floyd death as a result. Other leaders with long histories of police work agreed.
I caught a glimpse of Candace’s tweet. She’s an amazing black conservative woman who is articulate, intelligent, destined to go places.
Candace wasn’t directing fire at George Floyd so much as she was pointing out that Black Lives Matter is elevating George to some sort of sainthood status that somehow allows them to carry out domestic terrorism.
The President’s tweet reinforced Candace’s view.
The enemy was never George Floyd. He was a flawed man but he never deserved to die that way. His pleas for life were heartbreaking.
The enemy is Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
Hey the crowd picked Barrabas over Jesus too.
Not shocking the hysterical frenzied mob wants the wrong guy.
Not sure that retweet was such a good idea.. but what do I know?
And I thought I was being gutsy sending Candace Owen’s video via email to a 100 or so family and friends-—including those family and friends of the liberal persuasion.
If we have to explain it to you then you are a lost cause. If you need them, I will let you borrow my mother’s pearls to clutch.
